I agree with SirDice, You havent't got it right when you set up your X configuration.
Try "x86config" command and as video card try use "VGA generic(or try Vesa generic)" if FreeBSD 5.1 you will see it on option number 0/1

You need to either rebuild your kernel with option pcm or load the driver as a kernel module. freebsd comes with no sound by default. If you look in the section on sound in the hand book it will give good instructions. man kldload will give you info on loading modules.The handbook is the best reference though. Good to hear you got it up and runnin !

http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html there are 9000 to choose from all you have to do is
cd /usr/ports/
then cd into the section and port you want and as root type make install clean and it fetchs the source and any dependancies and compiles and installs or you can go through the ports list and , find what you want and as root type pkg_add -r whatyouwant and it will fetch the binary and install it ,its like friggin magic. I like juk for mp3s, I use mplayer for videos, mldonkey is a kick ass p2p program that lets you use any network you want (edonkey,slsk,fastrack,open napster,bittorrent,gnuttella) , if you have a nvidia graphics card there is a port to install it in the x11 section of ports, heretic is a fun game, webfonts(in the x11-fonts section) will give you MUCH better fonts than the default ones ,mutt is good for mail , bitchx is agood irc client,sudo is handy to use, You should get portupgrade and cvsup , with them you can have all the latest and greatest versions of every program you have very easily. if you installed the full kde package you will already have lots an lotsa stufff.
If you can't find something try whereis ?????? or locate ??????? or find ???????
Once you are done playing i would start reading the handbook start to finish and then start to finish again and at the freebsd.org site there is quite a bit of stuff. Singing up for the mailing list is a good idea too.If you installed the docs you can put this into konquerer file:/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.htm and you will have the hand book , voila
have fun

Apparently, I did not install the mtools package, because when I try to open a floppy:

ensure that the mtools package is installed correctly on your system.

How do I install this?

And KDE does not seem to be recognizing my network card. It works, because I was using it to connect and download some things when I was still on windows on that machine. Don't know what's wrong there.

EDIT: Figured out that I didn't configure the networking thing. So I configured it. So the internet's workin' now (I've been posting from a different computer).
